AND PLEADING IN THE ALTERNATIVE


Explanation:
NB caps as a legal drafting technique, also in the Eng. AND THE PLAINTIFF/CLAIMANT DOES CLAIM. Lower casing will be thrown out by the court and be deducted points on the US, Can. and UK Bar Exams.

I have been to Vancouver and Toronto. Does that make me Canadian?



Example sentence(s):
  • Alternative pleading permits a party in a court action to argue multiple possibilities that may be mutually exclusive www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_pleading
